OMG, that is what my daughter and her friends say and text all the time and that is how I feel about this summer. It has been a whirlwind to say the least. That excuse aside, I have the promised images of my daughter's new bedroom. Picking a paint color was probably the most challenging part however, she finally settled on "Butter". We purchased the paint at Lowe's and though it was an Olympic color, I had Lowe's color match and used their paint and primer in one as the room was RED to start. It still took 2 coats of paint, but I am very pleased with the result and more importantly, my daughter LOVES it! :) So here are the before and after images as promised:
BEFORE:
|
My husband's dark red and sad office. To be fair, he had already begun to pack it up. So, it is sadder than usual. |
AFTER:
|
I cannot believe how much better the room looks in "butter". |
|
Here is the bed with some t-shirt sheets I had purchased on clearance at Target - love them! I have placed the bed on the floor for now as I have not found a bed frame I love that I can afford. |
|
This "vintage" furniture was my husband's aunt's. She gave it to my daughter and it looks too perfect in this room. |
|
Here is the desk. |
|
OK, now for the bedding - I had the two black pillows. The others, along with the bed set, I purchased at a garage sale for $7!!! |
|
I had these three angel wall art boxes from a purchase years ago at one of my favorite shops - MOXIE! For those of you who are not nearby, please visit her website: www.shopatmoxie.com The lamp, another clearance item at Target. |
|
The details keep coming. I have a HUGE shelving unit in my basement that holds all sorts of decorating "props". I like to cycle things in and out. I made the framed art work from calendar images, toile gift wrap tissue and some inexpensive frames. | |
|
|
Some more goodies to finish the job! The tissue box holder and metal lantern I purchased at the garage sale too - another $3 for those items. I put my daughter plug in night light in the lantern and now it adds a lovely lace pattern to the ceiling at nighttime. The two fashion wall art pieces were in storage and had been purchased at TJ Maxx - love them too! |
